The point is that DESTDIR is not where the files would eventually end up when installing the package. It points to a temporary staging directory used to construct a binary package from the "installed" files without actually installing them in the live system for real. Combined with the fakeroot command, it allows for building binary packages in an environment that appears to have root privileges without the builder actually having root privileges. See DESTDIR: Support for Staged Installs for DESTDIR's use in GNU coding standards. — Ian Abbott |
